ubac

Geo. හිරු මුවාව


Definition:

Ubac (noun): The slope of a mountain that faces away from the sun; the shaded side of a mountain. This term is commonly used in French and other Romance languages to describe the cooler, darker side of a mountain that is often covered in vegetation and receives less direct sunlight.

The ubac is contrasted with the adret, or the sunny, warmer side of the mountain. Its etymology can be traced back to the Latin word "umbra," meaning shade, highlighting its association with shadow and darkness on the mountain slope.
